Lanber, if you PM me your email address I have a spreadsheet set up to calculate the cost of relaods versus new and shows how much (if anthing) you save by relaoding. Also if you want a .410" wad punch let me know, I may have something kicking around

I use them for the Geese. Worth the extra cost, but having said that I tend to stick to Hevi-shot (£1.90 a go!).

Try Arthur Branthwaite in Stockport. If he doesn`t have it I`m sure he`ll get it for you, a good old fashioned gun smith and nice guy to boot!

Hi Rob, should have said its for a mate of mine whos just staring out. 2 full would be fine, any more than that would be a bonus. Cheers

Anyone got a cabinet they want to part with in the Cheshire area??? Not worried about the size so long as it will tkae full shotguns. Cash waiting Matty

Got a set of Green Leopard ones 4 years ago at the CLA last time it was at Belvoir. Think they cost me about £85 with the accoustic filters in them (so you can hear people talking to you but they stop the louder noises). Well worth every penny, would recommend them highly. Trouble is I have no excuse for ignoring the wife now!!!!!!!

Try Clay and Game in Lincolnshire. They are on the web, owned and run by a guy called Ian Chorlton, very helpful bloke!

Tin Man, I have some number 7 you can have but I live in cheshire! Will you be going to the CLA game fair by chance??

Anyone got a recipie for Nobel number 80 in 12 gauge? Alternatively if its a real off the wall recipie, anyone got a use for it before I find a disposal route for it???

DaveK, glad to see your a self confessed expert in the subject! The information I posted is how it was explained to me by my firearms licencing officer. If he (or indeed my interpretation of what was said) is incorrect, thats fine. I along with 99.999999999999999999999999999% of the human race am NOT infaliable. As to moving country, how about YOU learn some manners while I`m away?!

Gents, just to clear up something. If you are out and about with a firearm (be it a rifle or a shotgun the law is the same in this respect) and you are NOT in "posession" (that is to say it is your pocket or your vehicle if you have it parked in car park at a shooting ground or in a layby or where ever near by) you can be arrested and charged with ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF A FIREARM. That, as far as I`m aware carries a maximum penalty of 7 years behind bars. During a renewal period when your cert is away, provided you old on is still valid you have no issues. If it expires BEFORE your new on arrives then you are once again TECHNICALLY without a cert (be it for section 1 or section 2 firearms, it makes no difference really). If you have ANY firearms that require a licence at that point at your home address or in your possession you are then, once again, TECHNICALLY in illegal possession of a firearm. I know that my Firearms Officer is very helpful in this respect and would argue the case that, provided you have your reciept for renewal you are covered and can continue as if you had the new cert in hand. I personally wouldn`t go out without a valid cert and find out, just incase! Weather the "I have my renewal reciept so I`m covered" sketch would stand up in court is a different matters! As to the point of the database, that is there to vaildate the authenticity of your cert, NOT as an alternative to having it with you. No cert in your possession = illegal possession of a firearm. Having been stopped at stuipd o`clock on my way out wildfowling and asked to produce my cert there and then, and having had a very nice conversation with the boys in blue and the firearms officer about this very subject, take it from me, if your off out with a firearm make sure your cert is with you or, at the very least, in the car/van/4x4 etc you are using. There is nothing to say it has to be in your pocket if your out and about, but I doubt many of the boys in blue would wear it being in the house if you are miles away.

Tried them and hated them! They go bang alright but just couldn`t get on with them!!! If you can afford them gamebore "Black Gold" are great if a little on the pricey side!

What size chambers are they??
